Take This Life

It's not so much the painIt's more the actual knifePretending the picture is perfectI cut myself to sleepI close my eyes for a secondAnd curse my fragile soulI scream to hide that I'm lonelyThe echo calls my name

If I ever, if I neverMake me understand the thought whateverMake me see, make me beMake me understand you're there for me

Take this life, I'm right hereStay awhile and breathe me inTake this life, I'm right hereStay awhile and breathe me in

The rain drops just beg to hit meWhat now? Hasn't rained for daysNo time to play hide-and-seekI call on you to take me onBreak me down to piecesPut me back, do it right this timeStruggling to fill this empty shellBurn all my effortsIn the end it means nothing

If I ever, if I neverMake me understand the thought whateverMake me see, make me beMake me understand you're there for me

Take this life, I'm right hereStay awhile and breathe me inTake this life, I'm right hereStay awhile and breathe me in

These thoughts, burn a hole in my heartThese thoughts, will keep me free and

If I ever, if I neverMake me understand the thought whateverMake me see, make me beMake me understand you're there for me

Take this life, I'm right hereStay awhile and breathe me inTake this life, I'm right hereStay awhile and breathe me in
